The creation of new districts or new autonomous regions (DOB) in Papua was ratified by the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) on April 12, 2022. From the government's perspective, the division of Papua aligns with the aspirations of the people.

Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the Papuan People's Assembly (MRP), Timotius Murib, requested that the DPR postpone the planned division of Papua. One reason for this request is the issue of human resources (HR) and local revenue (PAD).

As is known, Papua has the highest poverty rate compared to the other 33 provinces. In several districts in Papua, the percentage of the population living below the poverty line is above 30%. This means that 1 in 3 people in these districts live in poverty.

Intan Jaya, Deiyai, and Paniai regencies, which are part of Central Papua Province, have poverty rates above 36%. Similarly, Lanny Jaya, Yahukimo, and Nduga have poverty rates above 37%.
